Overview: The Midtown Commerce Center is a special project of owner Sheryl Dickey, President of Dickey Consulting Services and a community and economic development professional with more than 30 years of experience. The Midtown Commerce Center was a CRA project in the Midtown Commercial District of Ft. Lauderdale. It is a LEED® Silver-certified, two-story building with offices upstairs and retail and artist space downstairs. GSD Contracting was brought in early as a value engineer and construction professionals. West African Adinkra symbols are embedded on plaques around the building. GSD President, Greg DeJohn, even made one of these symbols from mahogany, adorned with African beads that Sheryl brought back from West Africa, and presented it to Sheryl Dickey at the building’s opening. The symbol means “greatness, charisma, and leadership,” all qualities that describe Ms. Dickey.
